Start with The Ascension, which has shorter pieces and is maybe more immediately apprehensible. It's recently been remastered and reissued on CD. If you're after longer works, I'd recommend Symphonies No. 6 and No. 5. I'm really fond of the 13, but the others are available now.

NOT BUMP

er

wait

BUMP

NOT CRAP

that's more like it

I'm really not sure.

I'd say NOT CRAP 9

He's doing Symphony 13 again, in February (Hallucination City, the piece for 100 guitars) and I bet he's still looking for guitarists/bassists.

No drummer though, that's Wharton.

I'm looking forward to playing this for the third time.

It'll be the second go-round for me. What section were you in at Astoria, burun?

does he hold auditions?

That is a good question.

Glenn Branca?

NOT CRAP

I was (as always) an Alto 2. Which section were you?

He asked me if I wanted to change parts, but I told him that I liked being in a section with other women (Ellen Watkins was my section leader.)

AFAIK, Glenn doesn't audition people for this particular piece. You have to be able to sight-read, but honestly, most people just write the chord progressions on their scores (and, in my case, on the neck of the guitar) and follow along.

There's contact info on his website, and I bet he'd be happy to have some fresh blood for this.

Tenor 1. Reg was our section leader, and I sat next to Ben Miller. (Embarrassingly, I bumped him a few times with the guitar.)

I think the timeline here will be that Glenn will finish his revision of the score, then email all the previous players for confirmation, and then determine if he needs new people. If so, he'll put the request up on his site, and out on his mailing list, so you're best off just joining his list. Then he assigns players to sections and sends out scores.

Speaking of this, I'd think we're getting on time for this above process to happen. We'll see how it shakes out, of course.

Really dude??

I decided on the Not Crap option about .3480 seconds after noting a C/NC topic regarding this man.

No waffles.
